Türkiye has welcomed and backed an action taken by 12 prominent countries, including the United Kingdom and France, against the continued illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
“We welcome and support the measures taken by twelve countries, led by the United Kingdom, France and Canada, aimed at banning trade and business relations with illegal settlements in the West Bank,” the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a written statement on Sept. 8.
The Turkish statement followed Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Britain issued a joint statement confirming plans to introduce national restrictions, support European Union measures or consider other action against trade in goods from Israeli settlements. Britain, France and Canada said they would introduce national bans on settlement goods.
